Christmas at Maweni Farm

We were stuck in a small town north west of the Masai Steppes after dark. We could not move on, and had only US dollars which didn´t help too much. We were probably the first white men that the town had seen in hours.

Then another white man appears with a girl, so we kindly ask them to change some currency with us. He turns out to be a Swedish documentary film maker living in Tanzania, and his girlfriend was Norwegian.

Not only did they help us out with local money, they also invited us to his resort farm from the colony time for Christmas. We hit the Maweni Farm Lodge the next day and caught up with them. We planned to have just lunch there, or stay one night, but it was so lovely that we ended up 3 nights.

A highly recommended place for some days for resting and getting refreshed. Very good food, beautiful surroundings and perfect climate. Good service and beds. I actually couldn´t find anything to complain about which troubled me a bit. Check it out at www.maweni.com
